Found a tin of McClelland Legends on the market, so finished off my tin of 2014 Legends in an Ingo Garbe. 63 degrees & Sunny in Pittsburgh:

My own light English crumble cake in a GBD
A tin that wasn't where I thought I put it caught my eye at lunch so what the heck. This 2018 McClelland 221B "Black Shag" is indeed dark if not almost uniformly black (you can find some brown in there, I assume a lot of age has influenced it) and I dropped some into the Peterson Sherlock Original --- this is some smooth stuff. The other thing which struck me as interesting is it generates a Sherlock-ish cloud of smoke even when trying to sip slower and slower - came out nice and dry, so no clue as to the smokiness and not complaining!
Wessex Brown Virginia Flake in a Mastro de Paja
After lunch smoke. Sutliff 507-S, Stoved Virginia in a KW Signet, Apple with nickel band and vulcanite stem.
I may have finally figured out how to work with Salty Dogs - first cubed, then rubbed, then dried about 3 hours. It's currently behaving perfectly in my Pete's psb pot.
Okay, that's two in a row with the same pipe and tobacco so it has to be the golf!
First pic, "that so and so tourist from Boise wouldn't give me that two footer for bogey", second pic, "eagles are good"! Damn, I want to get out!!!
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and just finished smoking Ken Byron Ventures Your Welcome 3 in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem.
I love the Jeeves and Worcester stories. I might have a go when I next have cigar, thanks for the tip
Enjoy!
Where did your friend find the Player's? I thought they were gone...
Our Lady Nicotine, the gift that keeps on giving. Homegrown in a claret
-30 Celsius here so i power smoked the left overs of some Sir Walter from Thursday in a cob while walking the dog
Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2015 Seattle Pipe Club Deception Pass in a smooth straight brown late 1930s Linkman’s Dr. Grabow Deluxe Bruyere 9703B pot with a nickel accent and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
Salty Dogs in a Rattray's Goblin. Smoked it yesterday in a chinese pipe and it was meh. Today in the Goblin I have really enjoyed it. Sweeter with a more bready taste, which I really love.
Just finished some HH Dark Fired Ready Rubbed in my Savinelli #311 Rusticated Poker.
C&D Tuggle Hall, burley based with Latakia and Perique, in a Rossi Vittoria prince. For a burley based blend that is rated on the strong side, this is a smooth smoke, mellow even, if you don't push it. Bills to write; trash carts to get to the curb; re-writes on an essay that was too long for its intended audience, to make it ... longer.
